Considerations for Structural Modifications

Making changes to your home’s structure requires careful planning to ensure safety, efficiency, and compliance. Here are some key factors to consider:

Our Key Services Include:

Building Regulations & Permits

Some structural changes, including RSJ installation, require council approval and must comply with UK building regulations. Our team can guide you through the approval process.

Load-Bearing Calculations

Removing a load-bearing wall without proper reinforcement can compromise the entire structure. We conduct detailed assessments to ensure safe weight distribution.

Structural Engineering Assessments

Some modifications may require a structural engineer’s input to confirm that reinforcements are adequate.

Older properties may require additional support before structural changes can be made.

By addressing these factors before starting any work, we ensure smooth and compliant modifications tailored to your property’s needs.
